Twenty-seven men became deacons during a special ceremony at St Peter's Major Seminary. Archbishop George Desmond Tambala told the new church leaders they must help solve problems that affect church members. He wants them to listen carefully and offer real answers to people who struggle with daily challenges. The church leader emphasized that many Christians struggle with financial difficulties, health concerns, and family conflicts. He reminded the deacons to stay away from bad behavior and live good lives.
The archbishop called this event special for Malawi's Catholic Church because of the large number of new deacons being ordained. He thanked the families who allowed their sons to join the church ministry. Tambala hopes other parents will send their children to religious schools to become church servants. Father Daniel Kamanga praised God for blessing the 27 men with their new roles. Speaking for his group, Deacon Yesaya Manda thanked God for answering his prayers.
Mathews Mtumbuka welcomed the deacons on behalf of all Catholic believers. He told them to stay strong in the face of hard times and remember their special calling. Two other high-ranking church officials attended the ceremony to show their support.
